Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus and method for immobilizing plant pests for identification purposes.
- arthropods phylum Arthropoda
- arthropods 85% of which are represented by insects.
- a significant proportion of arthropods are phytophagous: these animals feed on plants and can impair plant growth, cause sucking and feeding damage, and transmit viral diseases. In this way, for example, considerable yield and quality losses are caused when cultivating crops.
- WO2018054767, WO2020058170 and WO2020058175 disclose catch trays that can be filled with water and additives to immobilize pests.
- collecting cups can be equipped with a camera.
- the camera is mounted at a defined distance above the bottom of the pan, so that an image of the bottom of the pan is projected onto a camera sensor.
- the camera allows remote inspection of the contents of the drip tray.
- the images recorded by such a camera can be (automatically) analyzed in order to detect, count and/or identify pests.
- such an (automated) analysis of all individual pests from afar is not possible if the pests are stored in one or more groups.
- a first object of the present invention is a device for immobilizing vermin comprising a bowl for receiving a liquid, the bowl comprising a bottom and walls providing a volume for receiving the liquid, characterized in that the bottom has a plurality of depressions .
- Another object of the present invention is a method comprising the steps: providing a device, the device comprising a bowl for holding a liquid, the bowl comprising a bottom and walls, the bottom and the walls having a volume for holding the provide liquid, wherein the base has a plurality of depressions,

- the device according to the invention its structure and its mode of operation can be described particularly clearly on the basis of a device which contains at least one liquid and is set up or suspended in one place or fixed in some other way.
- this should not mean that the invention is limited to a liquid-filled and fixed device.
- a device according to the invention is usually offered as a sales product without a liquid already contained therein and the device is usually not already fixed at one location as a sales product. Nevertheless, a corresponding sales product should be protected by the present property right. If reference is made to a liquid in the description and/or definition of the device according to the invention, or if the device is described in a defined position, the scope of protection should of course also include a device without any liquid in any position.
- the invention serves to immobilize vermin.
- a "pest” is understood to be a mobile organism that can appear during the cultivation of plants and can damage plants or adversely affect the harvest of the plants.
- the pest is preferably an insect (in the various stages from larvae (caterpillar, anal caterpillar) to the adult stage) or an arachnid. Pests must be “mobile” in the sense that they can enter the device shell autonomously.
- the term "immobilize” means that pests that get into the device cannot leave it again autonomously, at least for a certain period of time.
- a camera can be used to record an image or several images of the pests in the device can be generated in order to be able to identify and/or count the pests shown on the images.
- the device has a shell within which pests are immobilized. This is preferably done by means of a liquid in the shell. Pests that get into the liquid can usually no longer leave it autonomously or are at least held by the liquid for a certain period of time. It is conceivable that pests drown in the liquid and/or are held by the liquid.
- the liquid is usually water or the liquid usually comprises water, preferably as a major component.
- One or more additives can be added to the liquid.
- Such an additive can be, for example, a surfactant to reduce the surface tension.

- Such an additive can also be an attractant to attract (specific) pests.
- Such an additive can also be an agent to prevent algae formation (e.g. a herbicide).
- Such an additive can also be a dye.
- Other additives are conceivable.
- the shell may have a specific color and/or pattern to attract pests. For example, many canola pests are attracted by a yellow color; to attract oilseed rape pests, the shell may be yellow in color in whole or in part. For example, some moths are attracted by a striped pattern; the shell can therefore have a striped pattern in whole or in part.
- Some pests are attracted to electromagnetic radiation in a specific wavelength range; the shell can thus comprise one or more sources of electromagnetic radiation of a specific range of wavelengths.
- the shell has a floor and walls.
- the floor delimits the shell in one spatial direction (..downwards).
- the bowl is usually open in the opposite spatial direction (“upwards”) so that pests can get into the bowl.
- the shell is usually delimited on the sides by walls.
- the liquid remains in the bowl because the bottom and the walls prevent it from flowing out.
- the volume of liquid located in the interior of the tray defines a collection area in which pests can collect.
- the pests can swim on the liquid surface, hover in the liquid volume and/or sink in the liquid volume to the bottom of the dish.

- the size of such an opening or a plurality of openings is adapted to the size of specific pests, for example in order to allow pests that can pass through the opening(s) due to their (smaller) size into the shell , while larger pests and/or larger objects (e.g. plant parts or other debris) that cannot pass through the opening(s) due to their size cannot get into the tray.
- a cover comprises a lattice, with the lattice spacing being of a size that allows specific pests to pass through.
- the base may (in plan) be round, oval, elliptical, angular (triangular, square, pentagonal, hexagonal or generally «-angular, where n is an integer greater than or equal to three) or any other shape.
- the base (in plan) has a round or rectangular (particularly square) shape.
- a rectangular shape has the advantage that the bowl (or the bottom of the bowl and/or the liquid surface of a liquid in the bowl) can be imaged over the entire area on a camera sensor and the camera sensor is optimally used in the process. Therefore, a shell that has an aspect ratio that corresponds to the aspect ratio of the camera sensor (e.g. 4:3, 3:2, 16:9 or another common format) is particularly preferred.

- the liquid in the device according to the invention is set in motion at defined points in time.
- the device preferably has means which set the liquid in the bowl in motion at defined points in time.
- Such movement promotes the distribution of pests in the liquid of the shell to individual wells and their individualization so that each well contains no more than one pest.
- Such a movement can be generated, for example, by a float on the surface of the liquid, which, for example with the aid of a motor or a reciprocating piston, performs one or more movements on the liquid surface, which leads to the generation of one or more waves.
- the walls or the base are struck by means of a mechanical pulse generator or that the shell performs a horizontal movement or a tilting movement or the like.
